Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and India C captain Ruturaj Gaikwad retired after being hurt after the second ball of the Duleep Trophy match on Thursday. The incident happened during a match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium “B” in Anantapur.

Gaikwad hit the first ball of the match for four but was forced to retire hurt after the next delivery. It is currently unclear whether the injury is serious. Gaikwad has been exceptional in Indian C. In the previous match, while chasing a 236-run target in a closely contested game, he set the tempo with a brisk 46 off 48 balls against India D.

Meanwhile, Gaikwad has not played for the India Test team since he was sidelined due to a ring finger injury before the South Africa tour.

The majority of the players picked in the India squad for the first Test against Bangladesh, including Rishabh Pant, K L Rahul and Shubman Gill, were rested for the second round of the Duleep Trophy.

The others picked in the national squad on Sunday include Akash Deep, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, who all have been exempted from the second round.

Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal and Sarfaraz Khan, who too are part of India's 16-man squad for the opening Test, have not been released from their Duleep Trophy duties indicating they won't be part of the playing eleven against Bangladesh in the game to be played in Chennai. As Jaiswal and Pant's replacements, the selectors have named Suyash Prabhudessai and Rinku Singh.
